WASHINGTON, June 10 (Reuters) - The Trump administration

plans to meet executives from the biggest U.S. defense

contractors at the White House as soon as next week to discuss

accelerating production, as U.S. strikes on Iran and other

recent military operations draw down supplies, sources said.

The meeting would mark the second White House gathering with

chief executives of America's largest defense contractors on

ramping up weapons production. The March meeting included the

CEOs and other top officials from BAE Systems, Lockheed

Martin ( LMT ), Northrop Grumman ( NOC ), RTX Corporation ( RTX )

, Boeing ( BA ), Honeywell Aerospace and L3Harris

Technologies ( LHX ), with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also

in attendance.

The war with Iran as well as supplies sent to Ukraine in recent

years has depleted U.S. weapons stockpiles.

The meeting comes as Pentagon negotiators continue pressing

contractors to move much faster. At the center of those efforts

are production deals struck earlier this year.

The agreements reached include a multiyear deal to triple PAC-3

production and quadruple THAAD interceptor production with

Lockheed, as well as separate multiyear deals with RTX to boost

production for the Tomahawk and AMRAAM air-to-air missiles.

Those deals, announced as "framework agreements," have yet to

translate into contracts.

The White House, Lockheed Martin ( LMT ), RTX, Boeing ( BA ) and L3Harris ( LHX ) did

not immediately respond to requests for comment.
